Body Broken for a Broken People: Divorce, Remarriage, and the Eucharist

Internationally respected scholar Francis Moloney offers a fresh reading of the New Testament eucharistic texts. He traces a constant theme of the presence of Jesus to those in need. He then examines current Catholic practice on the admission of the divorced and remarried to the Eucharist. What is practised is a late and distorted tradition. He asks the Church to return to authentic Catholic Tradition, found in the inspired Scriptures of the New Testament. This book will serve as an important resource for all Christians, but especially Catholics and Catholic leaders, as they ponder these critical contemporary questions.
